seanhowe: Peter Parker embraces Objectivism, 1962 “Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal wlth one another must deal by trade and give value for value.”—Ayn Rand, Anthem, 1937 A fun counter-factual is to imagine if Steve Ditko had stayed at Marvel after discovering Objectivism.

It isn’t exactly known why Ditko left Marvel, but John Romita later said Lee and Ditko "ended up not being able to work together because they disagreed on almost everything, cultural, social, historically, everything, they disagreed on characters..“.
